Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Svperstar

This is a hypothetical CD cover I did for an existing artist of my choice, as an assignment for illustrator Tim Okamura. I gotta say Tim's a stand-up kinda professor and person. He taught me tons and even more via example. There's a nice Wiki entry of him that shows some of where his paintings have been featured. And, since I just wrote about graffiti on my previous post, it's only fitting to mention that his work is very Hip-hop. To quote a quote, "...a painter who does portraits with tumultuous graffiti backgrounds....a hip-hop painter". --Nicholls,Liz (October 29, 2005).

In this assignment, he played the music from each corresponding CD that each student brought. He played Antichrist Superstar as he displayed the illustration... Isn't it fitting? :-)

This is collage with acrylic, trying to convey the character of Antichrist Superstar in all three of his incarnations, the man/boy, the worm, and the Svperstar!

Books I'm In

Psychosis! #1:Co-created, character designed, lettered, penciled, pre-pressed and digitally manipulated the 8-pager Desperate Skin. The book has four variant covers. I did two of the four variant logos. Worked with writer Alan Abbadessa and inker Peter Palmiotti. Psychosis! #1 is currently in 20 comic stores in six U.S. states and selling like hot cakes! So get your grubby hands on them.

C.A.G. Anthology #4:
This anthology features Tile Trinity, the 8-page comicbook short debut! Penciled, lettered, character designed and did the pre- and post-press for the it. Worked with writer Alan Abbadessa. Sorry guys, CAG Anthology #4 is SOLD OUT! Please click the link or pic for more info.

The Mind's Overflow:A 69-page out-of-print anthology I published/art directed. I also drew a few of the illustrations, designed (pretty much the overall book and logo), and penciled/inked/lettered/image manipulated a 14-page comic of the same name. Worked with Alan Abbadessa, E-I-C. This was our first venture into comics publishing.
